The Disciple<br />

Pastor Muza<br />

POINTS OF INTEREST<br />

As a Pastor, what gives you satisfaction that you<br />

are in the right direction, that you are doing<br />

something right?<br />

When I see the fruits… I have passion for ministry<br />

so I don’t doubt that I have a calling for it. Like<br />

in my current assembly I don’t earn a salary, but<br />

I believe in investing in people. The best investment<br />

is investment in people. You establish the<br />

work and the work you are doing must be appreciated.<br />

It doesn’t come easy so you need to<br />

grow the work. But I get so much fulfilled after<br />

ministering, and the fulfilment I get is more than<br />

a salary. So seeing fruits is fulfilling. I believe in<br />

the process. If you look at my history its mostly<br />

process. So I believe that even in ministry you<br />

must establish the work.<br />

third year there was just a serious turn around in<br />

his life. He is now at UJ. So when I see these<br />

young people discover themselves and<br />

achieve something, I am motivated. I believe<br />

that you are not only touching the mind of a<br />

child but also the spirit.<br />

You take students from different institutions and<br />

different backgrounds, and they join students<br />

here with a different attitude. What do you do to<br />

bring them to the same attitude level?<br />

We set standards and we are very strict. Like<br />

with the Cambridge curriculum there is no automatic<br />

promotion. You must pass the grade you<br />

are in for you to proceed to grade 12. So that<br />

motivates them. They know that you get the external<br />

examination in grade 11 and if you do<br />

not make it, you cannot proceed to grade 12.<br />

Are you teaching any classes at the moment?<br />

I do a lot of guidance and counselling. I call it<br />

character education, something that is missing<br />

in education. There is a saying that ‘talent must<br />

not take you where character cannot sustain<br />

you’. I believe that character is very important<br />

because you have a lot of people with talent<br />

but lack character.<br />

You have such passion for students who attend<br />

your school to achieve great heights, what motivates<br />

that?<br />

I believe every child has got potential that has<br />

not been tapped. It’s like sitting on a gold mine<br />

and some students don’t discover it. Some students<br />

even get surprised with themselves. So,<br />

when one discovers that ‘this is how I’m wired<br />

and this is the potential I have’, that drives me.<br />

For example, there was one young man who<br />

enrolled at our school but, he had serious disciplinary<br />

problems and the parents had given up<br />

on him. He moved from one school to another.<br />

For two years we struggled with him, but in the<br />

The book of Acts 2:17-19; says that in the last<br />

days my sons and daughters will prophesy.<br />

There is a lot of prophecy happening now and a<br />

lot of prophets … what are we to make of all<br />

this?<br />

These are trying and difficult times. One needs<br />

discernment. The fact that one prophesies does<br />

not mean that they are genuine. The prophetic<br />

attracts crowd, but people must discern, not<br />

only discernment but teaching. There is need<br />

for more teaching about the prophetic . The<br />

Lord warns ‘Test spirits’(1John 4:1).False prophets<br />

have gone out and many are being deceived.<br />

People have real problems and need<br />

solutions ;in the desperation they are deceived.<br />

The word clearly says that ‘you shall know them<br />

by their fruits’. Some have the gift but not the<br />

fruit the fruit. So before one even goes to the<br />

‘man of God’ they need to check their lives.<br />

There are genuine shepherds, and people<br />

should be covered by sound ministries.<br />
